REASON · VERIFIED QUOTE

Sunday-School Times Quote

“It cannot discover any independent truth; it has absolutely no function until truth, derived from some other source, is given for it to work upon. You can never get out of it what you did not first put into it. If man is to know any thing at all, that knowledge must come from some other source than reason.”
